Breve descriptor:

This course offers an overview of different text varieties in English, including registers, genres and styles. Register, genre, and style differences are fundamentally important for any student with a primary interest in language and for teachers of secondary education, who are faced with the task of teaching their students how to use the words and structures that are appropriate to different spoken and written tasks. Through a combination of lectures and practical activities, this course will provide the foundational knowledge to effectively analyse, understand, and teach awareness of differences among text varieties.

The course will combine theoretical aspects with hand-on practical activities involving the analysis of different registers, genres and styles. Theory and practice are inseparable facets of the course and will be dealt with in a joint way.

teaching ESL.
